Research the beginning of the modern Olympics

When did the modern games begin?

As the Games had a strong non-Christian religious element, and took place around a temple, the Christian Emperor of Rome banned them in 394 AD, after 1170 years of competitions. It would take another 15 centuries before they were held again.
Pierre de Coubertin, a French Baron, believed passionately in the Olympic ideal that even enemies could be united in a sporting competition. He believed that an event such as the Olympics could be used to bring countries closer together to promote peace.Eventually in 1896, the games returned to Greece , as they did again 108 years later.
